Flow Analysis on Kiva, The Online Microlending Platform

Technology Requirements:

• Python 3
• MATLAB
• PSQL
• PgAdmin (*Optional)
• iPython and Miniconda (*Optional)
• Gephi Software: Download Link (*Optional)

File Structure:

There exist three data analysis in this repository. Each represented in three different folders listed below:

gravity-model

• This code was written in MATLAB.
• Contains country-to-country analysis using gravity model.
• Main gravity model can be found in gravModel.m.
• Correlation calculation can be found in correlationScript.m.
• We listed the SQL Queries that we used to build the PSQL database in gravity_query.sql.

topological-analysis

• This code was written in Python.
• Contains country-to-country analysis using Bonferroni Validation Procedure (BVP).
• Procedure can be found in bonferroni.py.
• We listed the SQL Queries that we used to build the PSQL database in topological_query.sql (note that some of the query were used from gravity model).
• We also included Gephi files that we used to visualise the flow in world map.

rewiring-analysis

• This code was written in Python.
• Contains country-to-individual(macro) and individual-to-individual(micro) analysis using rewiring analysis.
• This file contains two more folders: country-to-individual and individual-to-individual.
• The main procedure for macro analysis was written in individual files for each categories. Each can be found in [category]-rewiring.py.
• The main procedure for micro analysis can be found in main-gender-rewiring.py.
• All files are accompanied with the SQL Queries that we used to build the PSQL database with.
